Following a day off yesterday, the Astros get ready to tipoff their three game series today against the Dodgers here at home. As the weekend arrives and we inch closer to the trade deadline on Tuesday, the Astros have drawn speculation around a few players but no moves just yet, is it too late?

(00:28):
Salisbury Alby Salsbury, Houston. Okay, let's do this. Sean Salisbury
to USC true longtime friend, ShawnSalisbury, Ryan Lima, go Lobos.
This is the Sewan Salisbury Show.And Shawn this name. We talked about
(00:50):
it just a couple of days ago. Now it's getting more validity. Chan
the Rome, Ken Rosenthal, andPatrick Mooney of The Athletic All three reported
yesterday late yesterday that the Astros areinterested in acquiring Chicago Cubs starter Jamison Tye
on YEP ahead of the Major LeagueBaseball trade deadline. Also interested in tie
(01:15):
on the Yankees, your Red Sox, and the Houston Astros. So he's
uh, He's got two years lefton his deal. He has unrestricted free
agency in twenty twenty seven. Ibelieve his contract is like eighteen a year,
which is which is not overboard.Yeah, about eighteen years. The
(01:38):
skills. Yep, let's see,he's his last four starts, he's three
and zero with a one point one, which which will if you were by
pat, if you were just staringat him with one eye, the last
three starts have made you go,whoa, that we're looking at a guy
(01:59):
who's getting right and on a teamthat's trying to move people. Remember when
they talked about it, Brian,if we don't get hot in seven games,
we're going, you know, we'regoing to start to think about moving
pieces. So yeah, and he'sbeen lights out, and you mentioned the
numbers in those last three starts Ican tell you last three or four starts
(02:19):
is here's the problem. And whatwe discussed two months ago. The longer
you wait and the long end kindof goes with what Roger was saying other
teams. As you get closer,the desperation kicks in, so the competition
gets more stiff because you're like,if you're the Yankees, you need some
help for a team that started sohot. If you're the Red Sox,
you're in it. One more armmay be WHOA, Okay, maybe we
(02:43):
can go take the division or atleast chase down get ourselves in a really
good wild card position because Baltimore isthe best team of the division. But
that's so bunched together. Somebody go, you can go on a losing streak
in that division, just like can'tanywhere else, and that's a gauntlet and
in their division. So Brian,listen, the problem is who the teams
you named have bigger what payrolls,And it seemed in the past be I
(03:07):
mean, I almost feel like they'dact more on desperation, you know what
I'm saying than the Astros would.Does that make sense? Yeah, that
that they that they would just likethey would pay more in free agency.
It almost feels like that they would, that they'd be willing to do something
a little And I'm not saying ina smart way at times, I'm saying
in a way that says, Okay, we're gonna well you raised this,
(03:29):
We're gonna raise you, and uh, we're going to see and raise you
a player or two more. Sothat's the problem. Those names you mentioned
that are interested in him make thecompetition. If I it's not money doesn't
come into play right now. Itcomes into play as players. Are you
willing and who has more assets togive up, and who's willing to take
that risk to go get a reallygood arm and a guy who and if
(03:52):
all three of those guys Chandler andyou mentioned who else was it Kenny Rosenthal?
That's not there. You go,that's not just smoke. That when
when it's one guy, you say, okay, I'm not saying one guy
doesn't know. But when there's morethat have the sources, three or four
or five guys are saying it,they're getting it from their sources. And
you know Chandler room does a hellof a job. And then you know
(04:13):
rosenthals around baseball. So when thatmany names, I mean that many,
you know people around baseball are talking. There's It's not just just a little
bit of smoke. There's probably somefire there. So but the question is
can you outbid somebody? That's reallywhat it comes down to. You're in
an auction right now, Brian,When you get this close, it's an
auction. You know how you holdup the sign? Five thousand, five
thousand gets you ten thousand. Youknow this player Dubond, Dubon. You
(04:35):
want mcormick, McCormick. Okay,we got McCormick, how about Pedro Leon
And they're holding up signs man thatthat that's what it comes down to.
If if a player has three orfour teams that are willing to bid,
he it's just like in free agencywith money and the highest bidder walks away.
Okay, sold, Well, hereyou go. And are they going
(04:55):
to be able to and will itforce the Astros to give up an extra
body that they absolutely don't want togive up for an arm who's really,
really good. They're gonna have to. Unfortunately, they're gonna have to if
they want to try to make arun at this division and then try to
get back to the Alcs and eventuallythe World Series, they're going to have
to give up something. What ifthey'd have made this this kick in at
(05:18):
the beginning of July. What ifthey have said, you know what,
we see the forest through the trees, let's go get him. That's a
guy. Let's go make a trade, and the and the Cubs at that
point in time like, yeah,well, we've talked about it publicly that
if we don't get on a roll, right, we're gonna trade. What
if they'd have done it, butthe competition has been a stuff or are
(05:42):
they going to get the closer itgets, the more, the more,
the more you're gonna have to bid. Yeah, you're gonna have to bid
more. I think because I'm sayingthe panic factor is going to start to
set in right, a little bitof desperation. And what Steve Sparks say
every week we bring up trade,you do not have to operate out of
desperation urgency. Maybe that's my word, but Steve said, anyway, say
do they I've asked and they haveto make a move. He goes,
(06:04):
Sean have to feels desperate, andyou and in anything we do in life
now sometimes like you're in desperate situationsyou drop back at the fifty yard line
and throw a hail Mary and geta touchdown. That that got a little
lucky. Those don't happen all thetime. All those seems are like more
than ever, those are happening infootball. But desperation is not a good
way to operate, whether it's tradedeadline, whether it's contract off or desperation
(06:27):
you start doing anything in our life, desperate got to get your late running
behind schedule, and so you desperatelydrive a little faster. I mean it
just it doesn't work. And whenit comes to trading or looking at something,
all of a sudden you're at theeleventh hour and you say, oh,
I'm a desperation kicks in and thenyou say I did not want to
give him up? What are wedoing here but you? And it happens
all the time in pro sports whenit comes to going after a player.
So, but that's why I'm sayinga month ago, when all the trades,
(06:49):
when they knew that Brian two monthsago, they knew they needed arms.
Am I right or wrong? Yeah? I mean that that you you
can't hold it. Let's hope thatBloss becomes a start. You knew you
needed arms, correct, And Iknow you've got to have somebody to deal
with you. But had you jumpedout in front of this, don't you
think that it wouldn't be as heated? Tell me? Tell me the last
(07:14):
four starts also don't have something towith the way it's heated up. Of
course they do for the way he'spitched, correct, I mean he's he's
bus sub two E r A.You said, right, yeah, and
he's won three games. Doesn't recncybias come into play too? Have you
and when you watch tape of him, it's like, yeah, what for
me lately? That's he's electrifying rightnow. So what do you do?
You're all you're all over it.You're all over it, so uh,
(07:36):
probably it's gonna it's the old framoil filter for the old school folks who
know you can pay me now orpay me later. If you don't,
if you don't get your oil filterchange for a handful of dollars, you'll
throw a rod and your your engineblows out and it costs you a lot
more. But if you'll just goget your dumb ass up and go change
oil filters in your vehicle and itcosts you ten bucks instead of two thousand,
(08:00):
three thousand dollars, same thing here. Say you pay me now or
pay me later, or had youhave gone and done it maybe a tad
sooner any of these teams. Ijust tell me. I know you're trying
to see how your club turns outin Garcia and mccullor's I think you.
I don't think you could count onmccullor's an injury situation months ago, and
you hoped, but Lant it's it'sa tough comeback. So ran it's it's
(08:22):
that's what is. Now. You'regonna pay me more now than you would
have if you'd more later, meaningnow, than had you had done it
at the beginning and just change theoil filter for ten bucks, you probably
would have got it different. Yep. And now we're gonna have to wait
until well, hopefully they can geta deal, maybe this weekend or Monday,
but tuesday's that deadline. And Ijust think that, you know,
(08:43):
the closer we get, you're gonnasee teams have more of a sense of
urgency and even a panic factor settingand give up an extra player. Yeah,
that they didn't want to give up. We see it every year,
you damn right, we do.We see it. We see it every
single year. All right, let'sget to the stakeout right here on the
Sean Salisbury Show that's coming up next. Let me talk to you about Classic
